"""In this essential book, Erica Avrami blows the whistle on preservation’s limits and its complicity with societal injustices. She outlines a vision for the field to take on a more transformative role in planning for the future of cities and makes a compelling case for rethinking the focus of preservation from the mere protection of objects to a more expansive approach that responds to climate and social justice imperatives.""—Jennifer Minner, director, Just Places Lab, Cornell University   ""Interrogating preservation’s broad outcomes, Erica Avrami pays meticulous attention to the ways heritage enterprise may disadvantage marginalized groups in defining and controlling their own heritage places. Her deep knowledge of preservation practice enables her to go beyond critiquing its problems to proposing systemic solutions.""—Michael Holleran, University of Texas at Austin  "
